This was added in back 2018, so we've had a while to start using it.. anyone have experiences of other tools using this information?

We added it to the Prometheus node_exporter ages ago. It's extremely useful in detecting system stalls.

What I really need now is to have this information at the container level in cgroups v2.

This metric will really help with measuring the impact of workload CPU bursting.
